Nexus Mods has announced a significant achievement today, as the popular mod distribution platform reaches an impressive milestone of 10 billion downloads. The site, known for hosting a diverse array of community-created game modifications, marks this occasion with a sense of awe and gratitude.
To illustrate the magnitude of this accomplishment, Nexus Mods offered some intriguing comparisons. They stated, “If every download were a footstep, you could walk to the moon 11 times, or walk The Seven Thousand Steps to High Hrothgar 4,161,464 times.”
Alternatively, envisioning the scale with pizza slices, they remarked that if each download were celebrated with a slice of thick crust Margherita with extra cheese, “this pizza would cover 15 times the size of Manhattan Island.” These comparisons highlight the sheer volume of downloads and emphasize the significance of this milestone.
Reflecting on this achievement, Nexus Mods expressed appreciation for the vibrant community that has contributed to this success. With over 539,682 mod files created by 128,361 mod authors, serving a user base of over 47 million members across 2683 different games, the site has become a hub of creativity and innovation in game development.
Notably, Nexus Mods witnesses approximately 10 million downloads per day, underscoring its widespread influence in the gaming community.
In light of this milestone, Nexus Mods also outlined its plans for the future, including the development of its Nexus Mods App and continued site enhancements.
There is a vision to offer free premium membership to mod authors who achieve a certain threshold of unique downloads. Further details on this initiative are expected to be revealed in the near future.
For gaming enthusiasts, Nexus Mods remains a valuable resource for discovering and enjoying a variety of mods. Eurogamer, in particular, highlights some standout mods from titles like Resident Evil 4 Remake and Starfield, inviting users to explore these creative additions to their gaming experiences.
As the celebration continues, Nexus Mods looks forward to further innovation and community engagement in the realm of game modification.
